See, that's how I feel too. I feel like Red Hat has kind of cheated
themselves. They've given me the perfect distro. Everything is stable
AND the software is cutting edge. Great combination. Something Mandrake
tries to pull off, but Mandrake is always chock full of bugs. I'd pay
for Fedora in a heartbeat. I wish I could buy it in a box set with
manuals.
